With the dust having settled on the election (and another storm
here in the northeast having left its mark) the question begs,
“why did President Obama win?” Paid political pundits will
proffer a whole host of reasons for Obama’s victory. Why? That is
what they do and they need to keep their viewers and readers
engaged so they can pay their bills.

Let me put forth the reason that I believe why Obama won. I am
fairly certain that you will not hear my reason for Obama’s
victory on many other outlets and certainly not the mainstream.
Many may view my reason for Obama’s victory as politically
incorrect. Well, too bad. Political correctness is not a measure
by which I write. I simply care to find and promote THE TRUTH.

The Obama campaign early on and consistently throughout the
process targeted select demographic groups as being the keys to
victory. Which groups? Single women and Hispanics. The support
for Obama within the African American community was largely a
given.

What is the common thread among these groups? Single parent
families. With over 40% of newborns now entering our country to
single parents, that is a LARGE demographic. Within the Hispanic
population, 50+ per cent of newborns reside with a single parent.
In excess of 70+ per cent of new born African Americans do not
have the benefit of being raised in a two parent family.

How did this play in the polls? With all due respect to parents
across EVERY ethic class who work so hard to raise their
children, these demographic groups were the difference between
victory and defeat this past Tuesday. Why did these groups
support Obama so strongly? Uncle Sam —or dare I say, Uncle Barack
— is taking the place of dear ol’ Dad.

Why are SO many throughout our country so concerned about that
prospect? The redistribution of wealth to Uncle Barack for him to
support his constituencies serves as an enormous drag on the
economic engine that drives our nation forward.

The reason for concern, though, strikes me as far deeper than
just that. What is the concern?

Uncle Barack can not possibly stand in for Dad when there is a
problem with the math homework.

Uncle Barack can not possibly stand in for Dad when the young son
or daughter has a question about history let alone about
values and morals.

Uncle Barack can not possibly stand in when the young boy is
enticed to join a gang or engage in premarital sex that
inevitably perpetuates the cycle of single parent births.

Uncle Barack can not possibly stand in for Dad when the young boy
or girl wants to learn how to properly throw a ball.

Many may care to deride my commentary. I hope they will know that
I deeply care about every single child in this country. Uncle
Barack may have won re-election with the support of these
demographic groups but unless and until the fathers and mothers
of these children begin to understand and accept the
responsibilities of bringing a child into this world and the
necessity to promote two parent families, the future of America
will be severely challenged.

Our fearful political lightweights do not dare touch this issue.
Nor does our gutless media.

I pray for the future of our nation everyday but I am not so
blind and naive to know that families and parents in America are
literally under perpetual assault.

Please do not give up the fight to defend families and the morals
and values needed for them to thrive. I welcome being part of the
solution for America’s future. That said, a solution can only be
achieved if the problem is properly exposed and defined. I
believe strongly my commentary today and prior commentaries
referenced below define it.

Keep fighting for families. Yes, the very future of America
depends on it.
